REGISTRATION
CHATTANOOGA---Registration for the 25th Annual Porky's Open presented by BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee is now open. One of the highlights of the Scenic City golfing calendar returns to Council Fire Golf Club April 2 the Mocs Club announced Wednesday morning.
"This event is a special one each year," Vice Chancellor for Athletics Mark Wharton explained. "It provides vital support to all of our programs. It's a place where a lot of golfers in our area first learn of the impact our community has on our student-athletes and the success it breeds.
"The most important impact is the scholarship opportunities for our student-athletes."
Players can sign up as a team or individually and be placed in available groups for the 4-person select shot format. The field is flighted according to the total handicap of the entire grouping, with flights determined by Club Pro.
The Porky's Open was created by late benefactor Frank "Porky" Kinser (1940-2020). Over the past 20+ years, it's a staple on the Chattanooga golf scene, and the Mocs are proud to carry on his legacy as it provides the community with a wonderful day of golf and fellowship. A portion of the proceeds goes directly to the Frank Kinser Porky's Open Endowed Scholarship which provides a continuous support stream to generations upon generations of Chattanooga Mocs.
